  • Beat it last night.

    If you are afraid of playing it, grow a pair and play it. It truly needs to be experienced

  • @Funkboy1234 Is good but is not scary :S

  • The mannequin scene in Nightmare House 2 gets my award for scariest game scene of all time. I literally shit my shorts in fright.

    "Oh? Mannequins? I bet they'll attack me! *runs up and hits them*. No? I'll carry on then. *WHACK* AHA! I Knew....it? Holy fuck they moved!"

    And that bit with the special forces soldier banging on the glass. Run into the room with him thinking your safe and...HOLY FUCK HE'S A MANNEQUIN!

    It took me twenty minutes to finish that section. I shit you not!

  • "OH PISSING BLIMEY THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!".

    I vote this for funniest Yahtzee comment of all time.

  • Having played the demo for Amnesia, I probably won't get it. Not because it's badly, but because I might run out of clean underpants in the first hour playing it.

  • I got to the part with the red room, with all the smoke... and I said FUCK IT. Quit playing, too scary. lol

  • @kemando12 Y'mean the Choir? You were almost there if you got that far in the game, man. o.o

  • @kiraina25 Yeah I had to gather pieces to enter the inner sanctum

  • I love how he just hangs a lampshade on his fanboying over the game. It can be summed up with "Amnesia isn't a perfect game, but it's almost unmatched as a constipation aid."

  • the game always makes you question yourself. Oh there's bodies hanging from the ceiling..creepy. -go into room for 2 minutes and come back out- wait...there were bodies here. where did they go? -look back- -look back again- WOAH! where did they come from??? -pokes a body- -walks to door constantly looking back- I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. ( then there are those multiple times where you're not sure who's going insane, your or Daniel[if that's his name])

  • @L337Pl4y0r Paint the lines, cut the man, cut the flesh~

  • I would love to see you do at least a single Lets Play on that game.

  • Oh pissing blimey there's an arrow lodged in my knee!

  • The way Yahtzee talks in this critique make me think he's the Nega-PewDiePie.

  • As nerve-wrecking as this game can be, it is really annoying when monsters spawn like so... :(

    And it's buggy, they tend to disappear or fall through the ground when I run up to them sometimes. O_O...

  • @RiyonnaSaysRawr In case you didn't know, some of them are supposed to disappear. When your sanity gets too low, your mind will begin to make shit up. The product of this is one that spawns right behind you, and then disappears about five feet away from you. Aside from being another method of terror, I think it's meant to provoke you to question yourself, maybe even mistake a real monster as a hallucination. Or, who knows, maybe it is just another terror item.

  • @SentinelPhoenix I know, but I'm standing in a brightly lit room, with sanity being totally okay...

  • @RiyonnaSaysRawr Well, I've never had that problem before.

  • @SentinelPhoenix Oh well. :D

  • "Like a removalman who stopped giving a shit" Didn't know they gave a shit to begain with.

  • Anybody want a piece of protagonist pie? It's still warm; and I promise it's not because I just now ripped it off of Isaac Clarke's holy bum after a necromorph ate his face.

  • This game wasn't that scary...I guess it shouldn't be when you try to rush the monsters with chairs saying why the fuck not.

  • 'unmatched as a constipation aid' now there's a quote to put on a game case....

  • I heard a comma.

  • Great game played it and now watching PewDiePie playing it. It's great and funny!! xD

  • cthulu futagan

  • @BitterAspect Watch his Orange box one, then look in that for portal.

  • @BitterAspect no portal is his most positive review

  • any one elts want a horrer movie staring yahtzee?

  • you sound like my english teacher.... Abloogy woogy woo that my friends is one of the best pharses i have heard in quites some time :D

  • I didn't play the game. I have not got the stomach for horror games or films, but I did watch my mate play it, and although I didn't sleep for a week (those bloody monster things scared my intestines out), it was immensely gripping, and strangely good fun having heart attacks every time the creepy music started, or the scratching, or the tiny glimpse of Mr Wide Mouth Shit Hole Monster. This review encapsulates the fear you feel when the buggers sneak up on ya, but is bloody funny as well :D

  • JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS WTF OMFG!

  • Interesting bit of trivia: Amnesia's sales saw a jump after this review came out.

  • how very eddie izzard

  • I am intruiged as to how this review has 80k views, and all the others linger around 30k, can someone explain - Apart from the awesome review?

  • @Roflcopter70412

    I was just thinking the same thing!

  • @Roflcopter70412 It is possibly because Amnesia: The Dark Descent is now considered to be among one of the scariest horror games of all time due to the fact that you go insane every time you see those bloody monsters, and the music makes you wanna bleed. The game has become very well known, very quickly.

  • @Roflcopter70412

    play the game, you'll know why immediately. >.>

  • the perfect laxative

  • jam coming out of the walls D:

  • Shit this guy talks fast.

  • a friend came up with a great name for the monsters: Cthulu zombie rapists XD

  • OH PISSING BLIMEY! THERES JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!!!!!! :(

  • yahtzee makes the best reviews

  • @zachsparow And now there's peanut butter coming from the floor! What's happening!

  • 1:40 just thought i'd show the best bit

  • Nice gameplay thought process. I lawled

  • I knew he'd depreciate Dead Space while glorifying Amnesia. I frown thusly; :(

  • 1:05 hahahahaha I can't stop laughing six hours later

  • I can't stop laughing

  • My brother got this and I have to sit behind him so he doesnt crap himself. Bad idea because I wait for him to get into it and yell Abloogy woogy woo.

  • Oh my fucking christ you cannot imagine the noises I'm making by trying to stop myself from laughing.

  • looks like (as always) most gameplay innovation comes from either independant or PC exclusive game... it seriously angers me that all popular console game are macho self-important soldiers with huge death guns. people claim to be "hardcore gamers" when all they play are COD and halo, but true gamers will give any game a chance... people like that really get on my nerves

    ...

    its as if yahtzee has rubbed off on me a bit...

  • I always want to play a scarey game but i am so much of a chicken when i start playing the game i find that I'm in a fetal position and i haven't even moved my character.

  • Fun fact about the sanity concept:

    When you finally run low enough on sanity the monsters can actually see you in the dark, so hiding around a corner is useless. You actually have to find something to hide in and pray they don't enter the room.

    And when you go completely insane, you will eventually crumple onto the ground, lie there in the fetal position and whimper for a bit. Sure you can still drag yourself around while down, it's slower than a 104 year old man with down syndrome.

    I Love it.

  • @EVIL1357 Hmm, I'm at the sewer part and I haven't even gotten the "..." sanity reading yet. Am I doing something wrong? (or right?)

  • @Travaillons If you haven't gotten the "..." I congratulate you on that, but I must point out that such a diminished level of sanity is inevitable.

    I have had it 3 times and still have yet to be killed...yay!

  • @EVIL1357 Here's the best part I liked about the insanity system. Most of the time, the best possible way to avoid being gutted by the monsters is to hide in a corner and stare at the wall. It's a return to a very childish, almost primal urge; you want nothing more than to look and make sure the monster isn't there, but if he is then you'll die, so you have to curl up in the corner and look at the wall and hope feverishly that he'll just pass you by...

  • @kiraina25 I know what you mean, I always do that.

    Is he there? NO! DON'T LOOK! ;_;

  • I want to play this game so badly! 8D

  • CATCH DA FUCKING EGG

  • Comment removed

  • "OH PISSING BLIMEY THERES JEL COMING T HROUGH THE WALLS!"

  • @Vivalblue *jam

  • i just bought this game :P

  • @ljmackriell Good luck, and wear a diaper.

  • FTAHGN

  • Oh pissing blimey theres jam coming out of the walls!

  • wow 500 characters to use or so mayeb firstly this game needs a new mosnter and less dark LOL robots would be nice too right daniel?

    DANIEL:yes quite right...

NO maybe i should on MW2 too? oh i jsut forgot I DID and tht brought me here :O oh well lets use the last 94 characters... WEE chairs ... msi9ter CHAIR! and i need stairs to blow on LOL 10 left....DONE!

  • @GlowStoneGames The fuck is this i dont even.

  • amnesia does it right,they don't give you a gun. Horror game maker for some reason doesn't realize that if you give me a gun its not as scary cause i can shoot it in the face. Would Jason be any scary if a person had a freaking ak-47

  • beard mouth isnt scary.

  • SOULLESS SELLOUT FUCKS!

  • Knock knock Mosuckra!

  • @bboythekidstudios

    Tobuscus... Win :3

  • Zero Punctuation is on Youtube?

    "What is this place..."

  • one thing amnesia got right, is that you cant defend yourself, you cant be scared of a monster if you can just shoot it and make it go away, games like dead space and doom lose all of what makes them horror games (at least for me) just because of that.

    you cant just put a character in a dark room with blood on the walls and call it a horror game.

  • @mjpalmer3000 i think guns can be used if they only slow down the enemy, or ammo is so scarce youve got to let a lot of them live

  • OMG ITS DARK! WERE THE HECK DID MY CONTACT LENSES GO?!?!

  • "I guess it's good to stick to what you know and what they know is how to make me poo my pants."

    I laugh at this every time without fail.

  • Spidermans gooyscoo 

  • @TheAwex Criken's LP of this is probably the funniest I've ever seen. x3

  • THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS.

  • THE TOP COMMENTS ARE 32 AND 64 MINEGASM!!!

  • erm, I think you pronounce Amnesia wrong.

  • the game is great but very true. u find a key .... FFS HOW DID HE KNOW *door breaks*

  • JAM IS COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!!!

  • OH PISSING BLIMEY THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS.

  • Do Antichamber when it comes out.

    Please? For the fans?

  • you sound like wheatly

  • HOLY SHIT I HAVE A BAG OF MILKY WAYS!

  • @ornjoos You mean:OH SHIT I HAVE A BAG OF MILKYWAYS!

  • @ornjoos Lucky bitch! ;)

  • @underman8000 HA! right back at ya! ~_^

  • @ornjoos never played so I don't get it. Please explain?

  • @991woot119 Theres a bit in the game when danial reads a page from his journel andhe gets trapped and he announces he has a bag of milky ways

  • @SandvichDAT I dont get the bag of milky ways

  • @991woot119 i think its just a joke or something. maybe its an ad for milky ways in secret.

  • @991woot119 Ok, so basically there is this video on YouTube of this person playing Amnesia with his friends on Skype. At one point in the video the player is searching a room and one of his friends yells "oh shit I have a bag of milky ways!" right as a monster comes out and scares the hell out of the player. There, now you know.

  • @PS2N8J lol thanks

  • Penumbra was awesome.

  • 2:48 - Cute.

  • cthulu fahtagan :D -cthulu saves the world :P

  • "ABLOOGY WOOGY WOO!" haha

  • He basically means it's a good game.

  • My phone rang and I tried to wait until he ended his next point.

    I didnt answer the phone.

  • Lol all i heard was BLDIDIBLAHDIDIBLAHDIDIDIBLAH POO MY PANTS

  • Personally, I prefer the Penumbra games, more specifically any game after Overture. In Amnesia, Daniel's just this giant pussy who you have to goad to complete the game much like you would goad a kid to go to bed after watching a scary movie. In Penumbra Overture, the scariest thing is a wolf...really? A wolf? I was thoroughly disappointed that I had to chew through an entire game just to see one of the mutant zombies...

  • @Iwastheret0 You're an idiot.

  • @ThePandemic101 Brilliant rebuttal my good sir, but if I may offer a counter argument:

    Suck my dick.

  • @Iwastheret0 So, you like sex with other men eh? I'm not gay, sooo.... No.

  • @ThePandemic101 Yes you are.

  • @Iwastheret0 I'm guessing you are about... 12, right?

  • Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming outta the walls!

  • Abloogy woogy woo is my new ring tone. XD

  • @reaper1545 My ringtone is "PISSIN BLIMY THERE'S JAM COMN OUT THE WALLS" and "Abloogy Woogy Woo" is my text sound.

  • @zachsparow where? WHERE??? I need to know! The ringtones, PLEASE!

  • @zachsparow Could you tell me how you did that please?

  • @zachsparow how does get i want!

  • @zachsparow how?

    

  • @noobofdoom500 DOwnload an MP3 of the video. And cut,chop, crop whatever you want to call it, the clips you want. Then download the clips to your phone.

  • @zachsparow That's an awesome idea! *Starts cutting "abloogy woogy woo" out of the video*

  • Constipation aid. I will never look at Amnesia the same way I did before.

  • Then there's the one where the guy is standing behind you and you know he's gonna say abloogy woogy woo! But you don't want to turn around because you're afraid he's gonna stick his cock in your eye! LOL

  • You sir, have the greatest job on the planet.

  • His reviews are so good that I don't even read the name of the game title before clicking on his next video.

  • whats the deal with "kethulu fetargrn"? after 3:32

  • @msgol1

    Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

  • @msgol1 It's the chant the cult of Cthulhu repeats in honor to him. Check out Lovecraft, brilliant storyteller

  • we are playing this for the Halliween weekend, and it is, indeed, an excellent horror game!

    to quote my fiance:

    "It makes Alan Wake look like... like My Little Ponies' Rainbow Adventure, or something."

    (we do love that series' reboot, but the analogy still fits)

  • Needs more abloogy woogy woo and pissing blimey.

  • "I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO MESS YOUR CHAIRS UP!!!"

    Halarious XD

  • omg this guy makes me laugh more than anything in the world no kidding XD

  • Oh pissing blimey theres jam coming out of the walls is the best thing that anyone has ever said

  • OMG WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU! HE'S GONNA STICK HIS COCK INTO YOUR EYE!

  • ~OH, PISSING BLIMEY!!!!!

  • the soulless, sellout FUCKS.

  • "At least this one doesn't keep pretending to erase Your save game"lol,I've heard of a game like that but what is the name of it?It is a horror game.

  • @TheHegehogSonic Call Of Cthulu, Dark Corners of the Earth.

  • @Hivnom wow you are the only person who got it wrong XD.

  • @TheHegehogSonic ah that was a long day, my bad D:

  • @TheHegehogSonic Eternal darkness

  • @TheHegehogSonic

    Nintendo Gamecube's "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem"

  • @TheHegehogSonic Eternal darkness?

    *Yay! I fit in!*

  • ok whats the game with the white and black little guy?I played it.....it haz boobs

  • OH PISS AND BLIMEY, THERES JAM COMING OUT OF THE WAAAAALS lol

  • Fuck, this game still has the skills to turn me into a two year old, and I've played it three times. This is coming from someone who falls asleep during 'scary' horror movies and practically never stops playing horror games.

    Well done, Frictional.

    And Yatzee, this review is the fucking best.

  • OH, PISSING BLIMEY, THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!!!

  • Let's see.

    Cthulhu Fta AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

    *teacozied*

  • The most hilarious reviewer I have ever come across.

  • Comment removed

  • The game was utterly scary until I watched this. Now all I do is laugh at everything XD

  • lawl at that purple dildo

  • Oh Yahtzee. Even when he likes a game, he has to ceaselessly lambast it :p

  • I'm not even interested in playing 99 % of these games, but I watch and rewatch the reviews anyway :D

  • No shame in being scared of the dark. Darkness is where all evil comes from.

  • 0:46 they play the brown sound in these games?

  • i love this channal so much

    

  • dude i just staid the fuck away from the game the monster scares the crap out of me. I seriously look for an exit out of that house so I could get on a plane and fucking leave that butt fucker alone

  • I have played through half of this game now. I have realized that what makes a monster spawn really is going into a certain room and maybe once every now and again doing something. But even more noticeable is that it will despawn if you hide from it long enough, making it easier to do your puzzles. Very useful information.

  • I just want to inform you that the sanity also makes you hear sounds and see things. Awesome review though.

  • currently playing throught the game and it is sooo good at leaving you with that feeling you get in a good thriller where you expect the killer is somewhere but your not 100% sure as you walk into a room and its dark.. ominous.. and not like christmas at all.

    Oh yeah. I wanna know if I Am i the only person playing this game thinking "wow.. this is castle is a renovators dream.. " with some re-wiring and some downlights it would make a lovely abode??

  • @DanAcoustic idd. If there's one game that does NOT give me a christmas feeling, it'd be this.

  • How can people not understand him?? I get a brain buzz after every video... Love our accent sometimes!

  • @JoachimVampire it is an aquired hearing. After watching alot, you soon easily understand every word he says. Great reviews. <3 Amnesia TDD

  • you are speaking so fucking fast LOL I needed to see the video 3 times to understand more than half T_t

  • i think you would enjoy Catherine's story. the gameplay is incredibly hard but it does make you go holy hell every other time a boss comes. it is a horror game.
